  • Up in NHL again
    DiPietro was recalled from AHL Providence on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

    Advice: DiPietro is starting to bounce between the leagues frequently, though that may change if the Bruins don't get past the Maple Leafs in Saturday's Game 7. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:45 pm
     
  • Clinches series with shutout
    Silovs posted a 28-save shutout in Friday's 1-0 win over the Predators in Game 6.

    Advice: Silovs was dialed in from the start, earning his first NHL shutout to secure a 4-2 series win for the Canucks. The 23-year-old has allowed just five goals on 80 shots over three appearances since taking over for Casey DeSmith in goal beginning with Game 4. If Silovs continues to operate as the starter in the second round, he'll find a much more challenging task ahead versus the Oilers. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:17 pm
     
  • Returns to minors
    DiPietro was reassigned to AHL Providence on Friday, per Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal.

    Advice: DiPietro was summoned Tuesday so the Bruins would have a third goaltender on their playoff roster. He might be recalled ahead of Game 7 on Saturday against Toronto to continue to serve that function. DiPietro hasn't played for Boston in the regular season or playoffs in 2023-24, but he did record a 2.51 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 30 regular-season outings with Providence.

  • Back in AHL
    Dell was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday.

    Advice: Dell was recalled at the start of the playoffs to serve as the Kings' No. 3 netminder. He's gone 7-4-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 12 AHL appearances this season. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:14 am
     
  • Slated to start
    Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice at morning skate, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll tend the twine for Game 6 on Friday on the road against the Predators.

    Advice: Silovs will make his third straight appearance in goal for the Canucks, having gone 1-1 with a 2.57 GAA and a .904 save percentage in his previous two outings. Despite having just 11 games of NHL experience, coach Rick Tocchet will stick with the 23-year-old Silovs ahead of Casey DeSmith for the time being. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:50 am
     
  • Called up from minors
    Knight was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Advice: Knight has spent the entire 2023-24 campaign in the minors with the Checkers, logging action in 45 regular-season contests in which he posted a 25-14-5 record and .905 save percentage. Even with his promotion, Knight shouldn't be expected to get into any games, primarily serving as an emergency option behind Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz.

  • Falls to Edmonton
    Rittich allowed four goals on 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 Game 5 loss to the Oilers.

    Advice: Rittich and the Kings couldn't overcome Edmonton's three-goal second period in the series-deciding loss. The 31-year-old Rittich started the series' final two games, going 0-2-0 with an .872 save percentage after Cam Talbot struggled in the first three games. Rittich was solid in the regular season, going 13-6-3 with a .921 save percentage. Rittich could be looking for an opportunity to win a starting gig as a free agent this summer.

  • Set to start Wednesday
    Rittich is slated to start on the road against Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

    Advice: Rittich is getting his second straight start after saving 12 of 13 shots in a 1-0 loss to Edmonton in Game 4 on Sunday. Edmonton has a potent offense, which ranked fourth in the 2023-24 campaign with 3.56 goals per game, so the Oilers will probably fire considerably more shots in the upcoming tilt. Rittich had a 13-6-3 record, 2.15 GAA and .921 save percentage in 24 regular-season contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:32 am
     
  • Recovering from quad tear
    Johansson, who was previously listed as being out with a lower-body injury, sustained a quad tear March 30, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports Wednesday.

    Advice: Johansson finished the campaign with a 12-7-5 record, 3.37 GAA and .890 save percentage across 26 regular-season appearances. He still has one season left on his two-year, $1.55 million contract, so the 28-year-old goaltender will likely remain on the Lightning roster in 2024-25 as the backup netminder behind Andrei Vasilevskiy.
